Deep Dive

Titus has represented Nevada’s 1st District since 2013. Her six recorded votes appear as badges on this card: Yes on the February 2024 standalone supplemental, No on the other three aid measures, No on both amendments to cut aid to Israel.

Her February 2024 statement carries the front quote and its context: "After Hamas’s gruesome attacks on Israelis on October 7, our support must be ironclad and our commitment to freeing the hostages must be unwavering", while criticizing the bill’s Republican packaging. In April 2024 she praised the bipartisan package that would "assist Israel as it fights to eliminate Hamas and rescue hostages" alongside global humanitarian aid. In March 2024 she told The Nevada Independent she supported the administration’s "balanced approach": the civilian death toll in Gaza was unacceptable, but Hamas was to blame for the lack of a ceasefire.

Her frame is long-standing. In May 2021 she backed Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks while criticizing Hamas for "housing military operations among civilians" and urging restraint toward a two-state solution, and publicly pushed back when her own state party chair criticized Israel: "Usually the party is there to support the delegation or the candidates, not to take an independent position." In 2013 she joined an AIEF educational trip to Israel, calling Israel "a critical ally and reliable partner".

She signed the 2023 congressional letter urging the U.N. to act on its rapporteur’s antisemitic comments and co-sponsored the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Tracked committee support appears as badges on this card.

How this mark works

We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Voted to send weapons or funding in exactly half of their recorded tracked votes. The tie is broken by money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track and an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 3 of 6 tracked votes.)
